Redefining 'Wisdom' for the Age of AGI
danfaggella · x · 2026-07-31
Prominent AI researcher davidad recently explored a profound philosophical topic: how humanity should redefine "wisdom" in the approaching era of superintelligence.
He suggests that traditional, older wisdom was primarily designed to help individuals navigate a relatively static, human-led social order. However, as we face the AGI era—where living conditions and the nature of intelligence itself are rapidly mutating—we need to develop a "new wisdom." This new framework won't focus on dealing with stasis, but rather on guiding us to coexist with continuously evolving intelligence and finding anchors amidst persistent technological disruption.
